o for the first time yesterday I pushed a Flight Plan from foreflight to my 2012 CTLSi's Skyviews that was NOT A DIRECT flight path. What I did was plan out:

KLPR > KLNN since this put me directly through Cleveland's Bravo airspace I opted to use my finger and drag the flight path around a bit to keep myself in the 3000-8000ft limits so that I did not have to mess with any clearances. Now when flying and looking at my Skyview screen I notice three little heading bugs almost on the heading indicator. I also see on the right side

GPS 1 in blue
0.0 Nm (not the correct distances just wanted you guys to know what I was referring to without a photo)

and then Skyview in Purple
0.0 Nm (not the correct distances just wanted you guys to know what I was referring to without a photo)

It appears that GPS 1 will take my course from my Garmin 796 Aera and show me the destination and distance under that section.

In the past under Skyview it would always show my pushed foreflight information. I noticed this time like I said without being direct it would no longer show me any distances. I also could not find which heading line to line up with to match the pushed flight plan.

I looked in my manual and am lost, can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks guys.

On the PFD select the HSI source to Skyview. It sounds like you have the 796 selected

Is this easy to switch to? Can you not have both? I have two heading lines showing. I assumed one is for Skyview and one for 796 , no?

You can only navigate to the current flight plan, which you uploaded to Skyview so you have to have Skyview selected for the HSI. If you choose the 796 (gps1) then you follow the flight plan in the 796. You can only navigate to 1 Of them.

When Skyview powers Up, it will be at the base menu with PFD displayed on the leftmost key. The leftmost key (#1)should read PFD. Select that, then there should be a key that is “HSI source”. See Pilot users guide page 4-14 and 4-30 for the selections and what they do.
